Tyshun Trevell McKnight was born on March 7, 2000 in Clarksdale, MS to Tyeacia McKnight and Tuvarious Garner. He was the first child born of five.
Tyshun grew up in Memphis, TN and received his education from the Memphis City school system. In his young adult life, Tyshun had a boundless love for cars and went on to flourish in the automotive world, tinting, wrapping and racing cars as the owner of his own business, Typop Tintz.
Tyshun enjoyed spending time with family and friends, always being the life and light of the room. If you didn’t know how to joke, you would be the joke because he was forever “checkin folks,” as he would say. Tyshun’s smile was infectious, everyone he knew was impacted by the love he forever gave. Humility, loyalty, and honor are the principles in which Tyshun was cemented on.
